Check-In November 15
Next week was Thanksgiving, and Caroline's preparations were well under way. She had a list of food, all of the bartenders were working on drinks. There would be entertainment - the new guy, Coby, had said something about performing and she'd heard that he'd played on his balcony over the weekend.
Since it was one of the usual days for check-ins, Caroline had decided to take the opportunity of waiting for arrivals to decorate the lobby. As with every other holiday, the inn had a huge storage room full of decorations, all labeled and packed away for the right season.
Gourds had arrived in the last delivery, so now the pink of the lobby was complimented by the orange and yellows of pumpkins and squash. A cornucopia spilled fake fruit onto the front desk, where the staff kept coming by and rotating one apple a few degrees, as though it would look more real that way. They had lapel pins on, she'd noticed. Well, who said non-real people didn't deserve a little holiday cheer too?
Caroline perched on a ladder and fastened a streamer into the high corner of the roof, and watched the door.

Re: Mary - Assigned Threads
He sighed, because he didn't want to feel guilty about this, and... oh for fuck's sake. Sam reached out and pulled her into a hug. "Don't think I don't love you, and I'm not glad to see you. I do. I am. I just... need a little time to get used to the idea."

She closed her eyes for a moment, letting the feel of him wash over her. He felt a little like John which caused another pang in her heart."You can have all the time in the world." She could be patient. She owed him that.
